A decent battery life is one factor that can make a gadget owner’s life, a pleasant one. The battery life of a gadget depends on lots of factors including the make and model of the gadget.

However, there are few things you can do to increase the battery life of your gadget. In this article, let us identify some tips for increasing thebattery life of devices running on Android Ice Cream Sandwich.

1.Inverted Rendering can save your eyes and battery life as well

‘Inverted rendering’ is a condition where the background page is black and the text is white in color. This saves you more battery than colorful backgrounds or texts. It can be easy on your eyes as well.

2.Disabling Stock apps

The idea might sound queer. When stock apps like Go SMS and SMS Manager run on the background all the time, it drains your battery life. It also slows down the speed of your device. Multiple sign-ins and sign-outs can be another cause of battery draining. Hence it is better to disable your stock apps when you are idle.

3.Disable your Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS

Turn off your Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS when not in use. All these functions are mostly available in the settings option. The lesser you use these options, the greater will be your battery life.

General tips to save your Android battery life

1) Reducing the brightness

Most Android devices show you which application eats up your battery. The brightness of your display is the hungriest of all the battery-eating features. You can save battery by turning down the brightness of your device. This is mostly indicated in a slider form. Advanced devices have the automatic-brightness-control option. The feature will adjust the brightness of your device in accordance with the brightness outside.

Screen timeouts can be shortened to save battery. The shorter the timeout period, the greater will be the battery life.

Turn off the screen savers and live wall papers. This can eat up your battery in no time. Static wallpaper is always the best option for longer battery life.

2) Other probable Options

In areas where 3G services are unavailable, it is better to switch over to 2G modes as it can save more battery for you. Keeping the mobile in silent mode or airplane mode can pile up extra minutes for your mobile phone’s battery life.

3) Widgets on Android phones are no-battery savers

Widgets are the best features of Android phones. They can be added to home screens and setups for automatic updates like Twitter, weather, Facebook etc. They can be adjusted to one’s desired intervals but these short-interval adjustments can drain up the phone’s battery life.

4) Genuine battery booster apps can help

A genuine battery booster app like Juice Defender can do anything from watching ‘what’s eating up your battery’ to controlling the battery consumption of specific apps.

5) Get rid of the Zap Haptic feedback

Haptic feedback gives a vibrating feeling in touch screen keyboards. While this is an awesome feature that will give a real sense of typing, it can make a big impact on battery life.

6) Get rid of instant messaging

Applications like Google Talk that will help you in instant messaging can give a big stress to your battery. Sometimes the default settings of Google Talk automatically sign you in when the phone is turned on. Hence it is better to disable the automatic-sign-in option.

7) Number of applications running and the types of application running have a part to play.

As a common rule in most mobile phones, when there are applications running directly or on the background, more of your battery is being eaten. For example, the music application, camera, torch light and games consume more battery. The more and more these applications are being used, the lesser will be the phone’s battery life.

Again, if there is more than one application running at a time, it may consume more battery.

The recent ICS (ice cream sandwich) update on Android phones saw many users complaining about their device’s poor battery life. Usually most smartphones have shorter battery lives when compared to that of ordinary feature phones. What is more baffling about this? It is the fact that the poor battery life seems to have occurred after the ICS update. This was not heard when the Gingerbread version was in existence.

Nikon's latest camera runs Android

Nikon's newest point-and-shoot camera, the Coolpix S800c, is powered by the Android 2.3 operating system.

*The gulf between smartphones and cameras is getting smaller, thanks to a new point-and-shoot camera from Nikon that's powered by the Android operating system.

The 16-megapixel Coolpix S800c camera, announced Wednesday, will be the first camera running Android on the market when it hits shelves in September.

The addition of Android brings a few much-needed features to the point-and-shoot. Users can download mobile apps from the Google Play store and share images over cellular networks by tethering to a nearby smartphone or tablet.

Pinterest releases new iPad and Android apps

When phone makers first started adding tiny, low-resolution cameras to their devices, the camera industry was not terribly threatened. They had glorious digital SLR cameras with interchangeable lenses, sleek pocket cameras with large sensors and manual controls, and features like high-ISO for low-light shooting, megazoom, and rugged bodies for the outdoors.

Anyone who loved photos would certainly prefer the high-quality shots captured on "real" cameras, right?

But the camera companies underestimated just how important convenience was to consumers, and the public's appetite for sharing photos of moments right when they happened. The resulting cellphone images were low-quality, but nothing a little sepia-filter couldn't fix.

The iPhone was not the first phone to have a camera, but it made sharing images online, over its cellular connection, a snap. In 2011, more than a quarter of photos and videos were captured using a smartphone, according to a study from research company NPD Group. That number is only getting larger.

The $350 Coolpix S800c is bringing some of what has made those smartphones so popular to a camera. It doesn't have a cellular connection, but it does have Wi-Fi. Wireless connections have been around for a while on cameras, but the addition of Android means the camera can tether to a smartphone or tablet running Android when there's no Wi-Fi network handy.

The 3.5-inch touchscreen display gives users access to the Google Play store, where photogs can go to download more apps for their camera, including editing tools and social networks, such as Twitter, Facebook and, of course, Instagram. The camera can also run all the regular smartphone apps, allowing users to send e-mail, browse the Internet, listen to music and play games.

Like Apple's iPod Touch, it draws the line at making phone calls, however.

The camera has 10X zoom, can shoot 1080p video, and includes GPS and maps for tagging images with locations. There are no manual controls. The S800c is running Android 2.3, known as Gingerbread, which is not the most recent version of the operating system.

That Nikon is the first to bring an Android camera to market is a surprise, since competitors Sony and Samsung already make Android devices and were in a better position to combine the two products. Polaroid showed off a demo camera running Android at the Consumer Electronics show in January, the SC1630, but it isn't yet available.

Nikon's Android camera may be a first in the camera industry, but it's still playing catch-up to the real competitors: smartphones with increasingly higher-quality cameras.
